Landroid®M's new home-your garden Let's start by having a closer look at Landroid®M’s new home—your lawn—highlighting the areas where it can safely go and areas it’s best for Landroid®M to avoid. Obstacles that can be hit When hitting any obstacle that’s rigid, stable and taller than 15cm—such as a wall or a fence—your Landroid®M will simply stop and re-direct away from the obstacle. EN Stones Stones that are heavy enough not to be moved by your Landroid®M can be safely hit.
Depressions and bumps In the case of large bumps or dips, please consider if the blades could touch the ground; if this is the case, either make the inclines smoother or exclude those areas from your Landroid®M’s operation. 35% (20°) EN Slopes Your Landroid®M has the ability to safely climb slopes up to 35% (20°), so just avoid anything steeper than this.

Your Landroid®M needs to know where to mow. This is why you have to mark its working area with a boundary wire that will form an invisible fence. This wire will also guide your Landroid®M to its charging base. If your neighbor also uses a Landroid®M , then you must keep a space of at least 0.5 metres between your Boundary Wire and your neighbor's. 1.
2. Pegging your boundary wire When pegging the boundary wire for the first time, it is recommended to use a normal lawn mower or a grass trimmer to cut the grass along the boundary. Then the wire can be laid as close as possible to the ground to prevent the Landroid®M accidentally cutting the wire. The boundary wire is powered with a very low voltage so that it is totally safe to people beings and pets. 2.
2.2 10cm A feature, such as flowers or shrubs that are close to the mowing boundary, should be part of the boundary as shown in the picture. 35cm 2.3 <2cm <2cm If there is an island that sits inside your lawn where you don't want Landroid®M to go, please follow the path as shown in the picture to peg your wire. The wire should run from the perimeter to outline the defined island and then return back to the perimeter.
35cm 2.4 <2cm In the case of two islands that are close to each other, it would be convenient to lay out the wire as illustrated in the picture. The Landroid®M can travel freely over the boundary wire in between >1m the islands and the mowing boundary. 35cm 2.5 35cm 10cm In the case of an obstacle that is level with ground and safe for the Landroid®M to run over, such as a driveway or path, then only a >1m 35cm 10cm* space is needed. 35cm 2.
3. Connect the base to the boundary wire 3.1 Cut the end of the wire to a length that’s appropriate convenient for reaching the clamps. NOTE: Too long redundant wire may cause the signal problem. Strip the two ends of the wire. 3.2 When connecting to the charging base there is an IN wire and an OUT wire, as shown. Connect the IN-wire to the red clamp of the charging base and the OUT-wire to the black clamp. Then close the cover.
3.3 You can now permanently fix the charging base on the ground by pressing the supplied Base Retention Pegs with the supplied Hex key. NOTE: Make sure the IN-wire is running straight underneath the center of the charging base. a 3.4 b Connect the power cord to the adaptor and then to the AC electrical socket, the LED on the charging base will turn on. When connecting, align the notch on the power cord connector (a) with the groove on the adaptor connector (b).
4. Turn on and test the installation This is the exciting part where you can turn your Landroid®M on for the first time. 4.1 Place your Landroid®M inside the working area, a few meters from the back of the charging base. 4.2 09:00pm09:00pm Wed. 6-8-2012 Wed. 6-8-2012 M T W T F S S M T W T F S S 7:00am ~ 12:00am 7:00am ~ 12:00am Open the panel cover, press power button, then input the default PIN 0000.
